Calculating Stresses and Angular Velocity in Rotating Shrink Fit Connection

In summary, the conversation discusses a ring and disc connected by a shrink fit and rotating about a fixed axis with an angular velocity w. The first question involves calculating radial and tangential stress in both components, while the second question asks about the angular velocity at which the ring separates from the disc. The reason for separation is unclear, but it is mentioned that the ring is made of an elastic material such as steel.

A ring is connected to disc with a shrink fit connection. The disc and ring rotate about an fixed axis with an angular velocity w. The first question of my assignment was to calculate the radial and tangential stress in the disc and ring. This is no problem, because you can calculate the stresses due to the shrink fit connection and due the rotation and add them to each other.
So, in the end you get 4 formulas (for the ring and the disc) which calculate the stresses (tangential and radial) as a function of the angular speed.

The second question is to determine the angular velocity when the ring separates from the disc. I am wondering in what kind of situation the ring separates from the disc because this is not clear to me. Is it because of a displacement of the inner edge of the ring for example?

Will the ring stretch under the stress?

That information is not given, but the ring is made of an elastic material. It could be a ring of steel for example.
 

1. What is a rotating shrink fitted ring?

A rotating shrink fitted ring is a type of mechanical joint that is used to connect two components together, typically a shaft and a hub. It involves heating the ring and cooling the hub to create a tight, interference fit between the two parts.

2. How does a rotating shrink fitted ring work?

The ring is heated to expand its inner diameter, and then placed onto the hub which has been cooled to shrink its outer diameter. As the ring cools down, it contracts around the hub, creating a strong and precise connection between the two parts.

3. What are the advantages of using a rotating shrink fitted ring?

One of the main advantages is its ability to transmit high torque and rotational forces between the connected components without slipping or breaking. It also provides a more compact and precise joint compared to other methods such as keyways or splines.

4. What materials are typically used for rotating shrink fitted rings?

The most common materials used are steel and aluminum, as they have good thermal conductivity and are readily available. Other materials such as brass and bronze can also be used, depending on the application and specific requirements.

5. How do you ensure proper assembly and performance of a rotating shrink fitted ring?

Proper preparation and cleanliness of the parts before assembly is crucial to ensure a successful shrink fitting process. Additionally, closely monitoring and controlling the heating and cooling process, as well as accurately measuring tolerances and clearances, will help achieve optimal performance of the joint.
